ice ice baby...

frozen everywhere today,

so unfortunately

no Bethlehem Fayre for me                                                                                                                                                          



chicken doorstops ready for Bethlehem Fayre

very sad, as its a lovely Fayre

but the roads and lanes near
nellie and eve hq                                

are quite treacherous


so i will unload the car and the lovely harris tweed chicken doorstops

and the lavender filled

owls and bunnies

made from recycled fabric

and harris tweed


and continue making my own nellie and eve yarn

 by wool spinning

jacob fleeces into my very own skeins

here's a close up of the wonderful grey white and brown colours this beautiful natural fibre gives

                                                             

so a productive day after all nearly enough to make mr nellie and eve a hat!

keep wrapped up warm and snug

all the fun...

of the fayre

nellie and eve will be just one of a wide range of stalls at the bethlehem christmas fayre on 4th december

and  yummy things
